Living in the most populated city in the United States alongside 8.5 million people brings with it a unique set of challenges. This is especially true for children and youth who grow up calling this place home. Find out about some of the struggles our New York City children face each and every day.

HFNY Staff Whitney Edge (pictured on far left) had never ridden more than 15 miles before she rode in the HFNY Charity Bike Ride. Not only did she finish the 25-mile route… but she had a great time while doing it! Here are 5 things she learned.

As interns with Hope for New York this summer, we wanted to get experience volunteering on the ground with some of Hope for New York’s affiliates, especially those serving the homeless. The Mini Don't Walk By outreach through New York City Relief impacted us in a big way.

This past fiscal year (which ended in June 2016) has been one for the books at Hope for New York. Because of the generosity of our donors, we were able to give more than $1.7 million in financial support to our non-profit affiliates — more than we’ve ever given in our 25-year history.

We’re excited to welcome Safe Families for Children to our affiliate family! Safe Families works with local churches to ensure that at-risk families receive the help they need to keep their children out of foster care. We are confident in their mission and dedication to bringing hope to families in crisis in our city and we rejoice that they are finally coming to New York!
